Background
Scania Invest participated in Nyobolt's Series C in May 2026, joining lead investor Symbotic and co-investors IQ Capital, CBMM, Latitude, and Walmart (indirectly via Symbotic). Nyobolt's ultra-fast battery technology targets warehouse robots and industrial electric vehicles. For Scania, the strategic logic is direct: Scania manufactures heavy trucks and buses and is accelerating electrification of its commercial fleet. Fast-charging batteries that reduce vehicle downtime are a critical technology for electric long-haul logistics.

Founded in Södertälje, Sweden, Scania is one of Europe's largest commercial vehicle manufacturers by revenue and has committed to electrifying its product range.
